Using aKeyUI I was able to set up my WPA key and configure the email client to access googlemail through imap. It was painfully slow though. I have to press the top left corner of each button to make it register correctly and the whole switch app/type/copy/switch app/paste thing is cumbersome. However, for now it's the only working solution.

The other keyboard will probably be better, I'll give another go at compiling it tonight. Or maybe Solca can add it to his userspace.

Then I'll get back to trying to get 770 kernel MMC support working.

Truly awe inspiring from all of you.

What is the status of sound support for nitdroid?
It is definitely not in the latest versions @ http://guug.org/nit/nitdroid/.
Who knows?

I was trying to do a little bit of coding myself (big mistake I guess). I noticed that the kernel only has support for the TSC2005 while the N810 uses the TSC2301 driver. I enabled that driver instead but received some errors when booting. Any idea of the differenet drivers make that big of a deal?

I'm planning to join the party :-) I just went out an bought a new SD card, so I'll give it a whirl tonight/tomorrow. I'm an N800 owner, by the way.

One question... USB host - is there any chance of that working? It would be nice to use an external keyboard (as I have one I use with my N800), but I don't have a auto switching adapter - I need echo a value to the /dev/somethingotother to get it to switch. Is that likely to work in Android? I wouldn't like host to be on all the time, coz that kills the battery really quickly, but the option to use it would be nice :-)

You're probably mistaken, since there is support for TSC2301 in Solca's kernel.

Didn't try it, but since the kernel driver is OTG maybe it will work...

Well - fairly painless. Needed to reboot after the reflash, else it went in to the mass reboot loop. Now to fix WiFi! I can see one of my access points (I have two on different channels), but can't connect to it (even after setting the key). It starts to connect, but then never gets anywhere and states "disconnected"... Could it be something to do with regions? I'm in the UK and we probably use slightly different channel frequencies. I'll look to see if I can get the debugger giving more info I guess :-)
